I could not believe that so many people had the exact same problem with their microwave. Lolol. And it's the exact same model and everything. Many many thanks. The repair costed me a whopping $0.19 with a washer from home depot.
WARNING- the top flashing has 2 screws (on mine) that should be removed BEFORE pulling it off. I just made the mistake of pulling it off thinking it was a snap off/on and broke the tabs. Also, the stainless face scratches VERY easily. Lay down a thick towel before you start. I put down rags and still scratched the flashing and the door a bit. Some Flitz metal polish helped but it starts to remove the brushed finish. You could go back with 1500 grit (or finer) carefully/lightly in the direction of the brushed lines. I appreciate the video, it helped.
Add a metal washer behind the handle screws to spread out the pressure on the screw head against, the plastics door.. this should help from breaking. 🤞🤫
I Have the LM1760ST and the only difference is there are two screws on top of the blower vent to get the plastic blower vent off. Great Video lots of help. Thank you
My handle broke recently too.. it's good to know I'm not the only one. I'll likely never go with LG after this experience - very poor quality! Thank you for sharing this, and sweet pink glasses!
Useful and clear. Many thanks. Fixed my door. The clip that depresses the microswitches had broken, but I was able to insert a small self tapping screw into the broken part and reattach the spring. Better than new. And free...thanks to this video.
My handle broke in the exact same spot. I just filed down what was left of the old cheap plastic that broke and replaced it with metal spacers. Works much better so far
Your video was super useful. I just replaced the door handle on my LG LMV1762ST. Thank you very much. If others have any questions I’d be happy to answer.
Bro, you won't believe how I had. to spend my Xmas morning! Thank you for showing us how to get it done! I didn't replace the door so I had finesse a solution to that problem because just replacing the door would have been so many headaches, I'm sure you follow my meaning! LOL! THANKS AGAIN AND GOD BLESS YOU!
Thanks for this video. It's still helpful after one year in March 2023 Just one note, I have the identical model number but the top strip over the door did not "pop right out" . Mine is screwed in to the top. I had to get a foot stool and look down on the top of the microwave that protrudes from under the cabinet and remove 2 screws. The top edge then pulled out and the part was lifted off. This may be a difference simply from the year of manufacture, I don't know. And per one of the tips that was posted, I did put a metal washer behind the screws!
Thanks, someone below was asking about the top strip mounting, and I guess it's different on some models. I kinda wish mine were screwed in, since the cheap plastic snaps break easily, and I've had to fix it with duct tape.
LM1760ST here. The lower plastic bits holding the outer glass all broke on mine due to age I guess. JB Quick Welded them back on with help from the vid. Thanks for the video!.
Very VERY GREATFUL for your video I followed your instructions to the T from ordering the door from Amazon to using the puddy knife to get the glass out...thanks for sharing💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I agree this is a design flaw. I had the same issue. When reinstalling, I placed washers on the plastic before inserting screw. I think this will make it less likely to break
Well Damnit you made that look a million times easier than it turned out for me. I managed to shatter the glass window into a million little pieces trying to remove mine. :(
I have the same microwave and the handle broke in the same way. One day I was pulling on the door like normal and the whole damn front of it came apart. Cheap garbage.
Do you need to replace the whole door frame? If you had access to a 3D printer do you think you could make those plastic tabs and reattach them with adhesive?
@wesmcdowell It will. You have to take out the black screws that are on the top. I did the same thing until I realized that it doesnt just pop out. There are plastic tabs under the cover that helps hold it in place
Good info, especially T about the fishing needing to come off first. However it would have been nice to actually see you reinstall the door besides saying" just do it in reverse" I can't get my door onto the top hinge hook.
I have the same microwave door and what are ridiculous design. But I have a question for you. I am not exactly sure how this is supposed to look when you put back the microwave shield glass. It seems like the tabs are much lower in the front of the door then they are towards the back. However, it was a screw on the bottom, for tabs from the left between the fourth and fifth tab on the left on the bottom that has a piece that the screw goes into, it's about an inch high and it's causing the whole thing not to sit right. Is there any way that I could put a picture in here of that piece? It seems to screw into the base fine without it so where the hell did this piece come from. It seems totally fine without it but that doesn't make any sense. Is there any way to get you a picture of that piece?
Thank you sooooooooooo much for this. Exact same problem. LG should be sued for this. My microwave is one year old. Is this going to be an annual occurrence? I literally have the same issue, that stupid little plastic piece broke. Is that piece included in this frame/part?
@@ShaneConQueso Yep. Silly to have to buy the whole frame, but it was "only" $20 or so. In the comments someone suggested adding a washer...that sounded like a good idea to me.

I guess LG Appliances aren't engineered very well
My handle broke in the same place. Your video was invaluable! So so so appreciate

Where the screws are located? Thanks

Great tip…I bet that would definitely help. Tx!
Same problem! I was so mad. I added a washer and just put some jb weld behind it. Great video man, thanks for the info!
Great video. I had the same problem. Added a fender washer to the inside as suggested. 19 cents at Home Depot.
I Have the LM1760ST and the only difference is there are two screws on top of the blower vent to get the plastic blower vent off. Great Video lots of help. Thank you
Mine, too.

Thanks for the video, I ordered a replacement door and found your video while waiting for it to arrive. Excellent walkthrough
Thank you so much, we used a washer too!! With your video we were able to get to the part we needed to fix!!! You guys are awesome !!!
Useful and clear. Many thanks. Fixed my door. The clip that depresses the microswitches had broken, but I was able to insert a small self tapping screw into the broken part and reattach the spring. Better than new. And free...thanks to this video.
Thank you for this! A divider in an old tackle box works instead of ordering a new piece of plastic..
My handle broke in the exact same spot. I just filed down what was left of the old cheap plastic that broke and replaced it with metal spacers. Works much better so far
Great video just what the doctor ordered. thanks
I put a washer and some epoxy for a quick fix till new part arrives.
Fabulous help! Thank you. We have ordered the part on Amazon and waiting. Crappy design indeed!
Your video was super useful. I just replaced the door handle on my LG LMV1762ST. Thank you very much. If others have any questions I’d be happy to answer.
i have a LMV1762 ST. the door frame where the handle is screwed in broke yesterday. what part # do you use from amazon? thanks
I also need the model # for the door handle

Mine has screws also.
Your the man mine broke the exact same way thank you for the video

Thanks so much for taking the time to post this video. You’ve helped me and many others, I’m sure. God bless.
Mine just broke. I'll be fixing it tomorrow. Thanks for making this video!
I agree this is a design flaw. I had the same issue. When reinstalling, I placed washers on the plastic before inserting screw. I think this will make it less likely to break
Thank you so much for this video, this is my exact problem and couldn't figure out how to take the door off the microwave and take it apart.
Awesome. Just what I needed to help me figure out how to repair the handle on my LG microwave!
Exactly what I needed! Thanks!
Right on this is exactly what I needed thank you !
Well Damnit you made that look a million times easier than it turned out for me. I managed to shatter the glass window into a million little pieces trying to remove mine. :(
Oooh, dude that sucks. Hopefully you can get a spare on Amazon...
Thanks for this video couldn't of done it with out it..
You're awesome. Thanks brother!!
garbage design, garbage product. Thanks for your video
This video was very helpful. How do I get the door back on ?
I have the same microwave and the handle broke in the same way. One day I was pulling on the door like normal and the whole damn front of it came apart. Cheap garbage.
Yup, me too....exactly!
Do you need to replace the whole door frame? If you had access to a 3D printer do you think you could make those plastic tabs and reattach them with adhesive?
I need to replace just the glass.. Will I need to purchase the whole door?
any tips on how to remove the grill flashing above the door? Mine does not want to come off
@wesmcdowell It will. You have to take out the black screws that are on the top. I did the same thing until I realized that it doesnt just pop out. There are plastic tabs under the cover that helps hold it in place
Does anyone has a link for the handler?
Good info, especially T about the fishing needing to come off first. However it would have been nice to actually see you reinstall the door besides saying" just do it in reverse" I can't get my door onto the top hinge hook.
Sorry about that. I recall you want the door in a fully open position, and it just drops in.
Has anyone gotten an error code after replacing the door?😅😢
Do you know the model number for the handle? My bottom tab broke also
Followed, but now getting door error. Spin table spins and light is lit but display says DOOR with no motor engagement. Thoughts?
Sounds like the door didn’t go back on correctly. I’d take it off and put it back on, make sure it seats well.
This was useful!!!

Can you embed a pic in your comment? This sounds weird…
where did you buy the replacement handle from ?
Check comments below...I had an Amazon link. Cost maybe $20 or so.
So if my handle is popping off what part do I need to order? The bottom of the handle is broken.
"LG AGM73812501 Parts Assembly" is what I ordered; like ~$20 at AMZN. Piece of crap microwave when the handle breaks like this after a year...
Thank you sooooooooooo much for this. Exact same problem. LG should be sued for this. My microwave is one year old. Is this going to be an annual occurrence? I literally have the same issue, that stupid little plastic piece broke. Is that piece included in this frame/part?
No whammies, but my replacement has held out for 11 months...
@@squirrelpaws Thanks!
Is that little plastic piece that broke included with the new door frame?
@@ShaneConQueso Yep. Silly to have to buy the whole frame, but it was "only" $20 or so. In the comments someone suggested adding a washer...that sounded like a good idea to me.
what part # do you use from amazon? thanks
Check the comments below; I had a link that was good as of mid-‘22.
LG AGM73812501. You won't believe this but I just ordered it off Amazon March 13, 2023 and installed it today!
@@Klean9 Thank you for the number
Do you have the link? And thanks!
